Dynamic and seamless network renumbering. All the layers in a network can be renumbered simultaneously without impacting running traffic. Renumbering is a fully automated procedure that does not require human intervantion. Use cases include network consolidation, network optimization or distributed mobility management. Learn more!

More effective security at a lower cost. RINA networks are inherently more secure than current IP-based networks, at the same time require significantly less security protocols, mechanims and policies to do the job. Securing layers instead of protocols and a complete addressing architecture are part of the rationale. Learn more!

More predictable and sophisticated network management. Due to its minimal structure featuring a single repeating layer with common protocol frameworks and a single management protocol, RINA networks are significantly easier to manage. Closed-loop management becomes more effective, enabling greater automation levels. Learn more!

Application discovery across multiple layers and networks. RINA networks allow two applications to discover each other even if they do not share the same layer, via a distributed function called the DIF Allocator. This function also triggers the instantiation of a layer on demand, coordinating multiple peer network manager processes. Learn more!
